Paid Costs become Unpaid

Problem

Paid Cost transactions are showing as unpaid and popping up in Pay Bills or Write Payroll.

Diagnosis

This is an Export/Import problem occuring in 1.06 and earlier.
Until further notice, there is no cure, just symptomatic treatment.
**With 1.07, there is a cure, see note in comments**

Solution

For now, stop Exporting then Importing into a new vsn file, simply open the file using the new vsn.
To keep the transactions from showing up in Pay Bills/Write Payroll:
1) In the Payment transaction, re-select the Cost transaction then post (hit enter). This re-links the two, but does not change the Cost's status to Paid.
2) In the Cost trans, change the Status to Job Cost Only. This will keep it from showing in Pay Bills/Write Payroll.

In Goldenseal 1.07 ** Open the file in 1.07, export it, open a totally clean file in 1.07 and import into it.
